Have they came out with the mpg ratings for the 6.2 4x4 yet? I'd guess some where in the range of 13-14 city to 19-20 hwy.
I have been trying to decide between an ecoboost truck or a new chevy with the 5.3. The 5.3 is impressive for its size and gets good fuel mileage so I think that I coud live with it if I got a tune. I have put 77k on my current truck in just 2 years so it's about time for a truck with better fuel economy.
My biggest concern over the new chevy is that it's the same 6 speed that I don't like very much. I think the chevy 6 speed is pretty "stupid" even compared to the tranny in my old 07 tundra.
Maybe I should just hang tight for a year or so as the chevy with the 8 speed should be coming out soon. The hemi improved by 1-2 mpg with their 8 speed so I'd expect the chevy to gain at least 1 mpg too.

Man I really wanted one, but I can't see myself spending that kind of money right now. I'm going to go look at a CPO 2011 GMC ECSB 6.2 All Terrain tomorrow. That should hold me over for a couple of years and maybe the 8 speed will be out lol.
My 07 sierra is starting to show it's age.
